ZEROBASEONE member Sung Matthew showed off his skills as a 'cooking genius' on the tvN variety show 'Backpacker 2' that aired on the 20th. He made a special guest appearance to support the catering team.

On that day, Sung Matthew visited Daegu Agricultural Meister High School, where he helped prepare a fine dining meal using vegetables grown by the students for 240 people.

Sung Matthew, who often shares his love for cooking in his own content, took charge of the large vegetable preparation machine and cooked fried mushrooms.

After watching chef Baek Jong-won fry mushrooms just once, he quickly copied the technique, proving his cooking talent.

Despite the pressure of making so many meals in a short time, he kept his cheerful spirit and completed the tasks at lightning speed.

Thanks to his hard work, episode 21 of 'Backpacker 2' achieved its highest ratings of the entire season. Director Shin Chan-yang praised him, saying, "Sung Matthew spread positive energy without showing any signs of fatigue. He was a versatile helper, assisting all the members from preparation to cooking," which grabbed attention.

Meanwhile, ZEROBASEONE, which includes Sung Matthew, is successfully holding its first overseas tour, '2024 ZEROBASEONE THE FIRST TOUR [TIMELESS WORLD],' which began in Seoul last September. The group is also active in various areas, including soundtracks, advertising, and variety shows, and will continue the tour in Jakarta on the 26th.

Actor Lee Min Ho recently shared an unforgettable and embarrassing moment from his early career, revealing how he became a “falling star” at his first Baeksang Arts Awards.

On the December 25th episode of You Quiz on the Block (Episode 274), Lee Min Ho made a guest appearance and reflected on his rise to fame.

The actor, known for his iconic role as Goo Jun Pyo in Boys Over Flowers, won the Best New Actor award at the Baeksang Arts Awards, but it wasn’t just his victory that grabbed attention.

Lee Min Ho recalled, "I was attending the Baeksang for the first time, and I was so excited. Since I wasn’t going as Goo Jun Pyo, but as Lee Min Ho, I styled my hair in a perm and was ready to go." However, things took an unexpected turn when he tripped and fell on the red carpet.

He sighed, recalling, "That day, I fell. I fell and created so many memes. Even now, I look back and think, 'How did I walk that quickly on the red carpet?'"

Laughing at his own clumsiness, he admitted, "I was moving at the speed of light, no composure, no focus. Honestly, more than the joy of winning the award, that day was chaotic and so embarrassing for me."

Though his win was a highlight, Lee Min Ho humorously shared that the incident of tripping overshadowed the excitement of his achievement.

It’s safe to say that while the fall became a funny meme, it also became a lesson in humility for the actor, and a moment that fans still remember to this day.
